Learn how make your own indigo vat, and have focused time to dye items from home in classic blue. We will open with a demo on how to prepare fiber for dye, how to create an indigo stock (exploring both the sugar and iron recipes), how to maintain a vat and how to achieve a wide variety of shades in the indigo vat. The demonstrations will be followed by guided open studio time for participants to explore their creative vision dipping personal items in the vat. Participants are welcome to bring up to 3 lbs of fiber.

This event is happening on 11/16/24 from 11:00am to 4:00pm.

Workshop participants are encouraged to bring natural fiber items from home. This is a great opportunity to freshen up favorites from your wardrobe that are made of cotton, linen, silk, wool, hemp and other natural fibers.

We are limiting the workshop to 15 participants. A light lunch will be provided (you are welcome to opt out of lunch by purchasing the ticket that doesn’t include lunch). Please reach out to our team if you have any dietary restrictions or needs.

Please dress in layers, and we ask that you wear old clothing and shoes. Please note that you may be photographed as we document the workshop for social media. Please reach out to our team at info@greenmattersnaturaldyecompany.com if you have any questions.

We look forward to having you!
